Guest hosting for Jen once again! I communicated with her via text message around 9pm St. Louis Standard time and she was set to take sweet JT home in one hour. I'm sure this isn't late breaking news but I'm reporting anyway. I'm sure she could still use our prayers as we all know new babies in houses are wonderful but the transition can be ... let's go with interesting. But Transition > NICU, I'm sure. Let's all hope and pray that the homecoming went smoothly!! (update: they're HOME!!!!!)

1. I tried to play it cool when she asked me but I think I set a new exclamation point record in my email saying that I'd love to host again. And I think I probably misspelled my complicated multisyllabic first name for the first time since never because I was SO!! Excited!!!

2. I'm almost 100% sure you've seen the Dove Beauty sketches YouTube floating ALL over the e-world. You have, I know it. But have you seen the men's version ...

3. Oh, here's a sketch a street artist drew of me in Chicago in 2006 ...

I'm sure he went on to do some great things in the caricature world.

4. A clip of the two eldest Patton males ... (the reason I sound wenchy is because the pants he is holding are saturated in Julia's urine)

5. Simon watched the kids the other morning while I went and froze my fingers off in an adequately air conditioned Starbucks and surfed the Internet, answered some emails, and became addicted to going to Starbucks alone with a computer. Anyway, he sent these three photos to assure me that everything was going just fine at home ...

a. it's not bleeding, don't worry (BashDracula got to Julia's back)
b. having fun!
c. Julia's about to tear his face off (for being super OCD about keeping her Dora plate free of any food debris between meals she keeps her crib really messy and yes she notices if I remove a single piece of little paper)

6. One of my good friend's (Hi Colleen without a blog!) brother's wife, Regina, who also has three kids under three just started a stellar blog and I think you'll love it. Head on ova ...

7. Have a nice weekend. We're going to see Josh Ritter ... I've been trying to listen to his music on Pandora as much as possible so I'm a prepared listener but I'm wondering if he'd humor a little Thrift Shop request?

8. Most importantly: I just woke up to read about the nightmare going on in Boston and surrounding areas ... I know I join many of you in praying for everyone involved.

Oh! And since Kelly asked so nicely last week - I got permission from the Boss to do reverse order linkage. Enjoy.

Believe it or not, just by sitting down during this bicep curl workout will actually add a degree of intensity. These websites may include "Dick's Sporting Goods" and "Sports - Mart".However, if you travel often, or even if you choose not to take that long break, there is no reason to stop exercise.

Michaels offers a large variety of yarn, thread, floss, kits and cutting tools. Then take white paint and make stitch marks along the edge (little dashes along the edge) If you wanted you can outline the heart in black as well. You can add some metallic touches with gold or silver acrylic paint before you clear coat the Pea Gravel chargers.

An electric toothbrush is motorized and usually battery-operated with a charger that sits on the bathroom counter.While manual toothbrushes are still popular nowadays,some people have already been upgrading to electric toothbrushes.Another reason that electric toothbrushes have become more popular in recent years is because the price of it has gone down tremendously.

It can hurt at first though, so prepare your face by running an ice cube over the brow line or other part of the face that will be plucked free of unwanted hair.Cleaning cartridges should be replaced every month or two (though we may be up to six weeks), which can make you a bit expensive for some people.You may draw more attention to your red, puffy face than if you had left the hair alone.

Here are the four most important ways slow cookers save you money:1. According to these sites, the batteries and other accessories you'll need can be purchased inexpensively on auction sites. There are no real features to speak of, as the Slow Cooker market is somewhat unsophisticated.

Throwing myself at the mercy of the hostess to say I tried so hard to get in there with one minute left but my computer, and the Internet, are censoring me. Which is too bad, because I really wanted to support this "Last post first" thing even BEFORE I put off posting until Sunday night.
